Not Reading Every time i put a disc in my 360 won't read it. So i have to open and close the tray a large number of times before it actually starts to play the game. I've already tried a laser cleaner and my discs aren't scratched.

Depends on what drive you have in your 360. Get a matching laser for the drive you have. I operate a Xbox 360 Repair service if you cant get it send it to us.Depends on what drive you have in your 360. Get a matching laser for the drive you have.

The XBox 360 is a wonderful video game console, however, with heavy usage, the laser (and/or other components in the drive) will eventually burn out.

The first signs of the laser starting to burn out is that your game will start freezing during game play. Eventually the games will stop reading altogether and you will get an "OPEN TRAY" message when you put a disc in and close the tray. What this means is that the XBox 360 thinks that there is no disc in the system.

If you click into the following U.S. based website, you can find more information about this issue, the parts to fix it yourself and you can also send your XBox 360 to them to have it repaired:

take out the cd. close the tray with no disk in it. let it read till it says open tray
open and close it like 3 times with tha method mentioned above with out the disk. then put the disk back in and it will probly work.
sometimes the system turns dumb and u haft to remind it to reconize when there is actally no disk.

I found a solution that works for me after a long period of time with
this problem.

Get an air spray canister (just compressed air),
open your Xbox's game tray, take the disc out, then spray the air along
the tray, moving side to side inside the Xbox.﻿ You may want to spray
into the vents, too, just to be sure.

This worked for me, and it
was the only thing that worked for me. I had already tried hitting the
console with the controller (gently), and doing the stuff Microsoft
recommends etc.

If that doesn't work, you could try gently
knocking the top of the Xbox with your conroller, when you put the disc
in, as I've heard that works for some people.

Another thing that
works for some people is taking the disc out, closing the tray, then
when it goes to Open Tray, open the tray, put the disc back in and then
closing the tray again.

A)
You have to keep turning it on and off. Here's how... Turn it on, then
click open tray then close tray ( keep opening and closing tray about
10 times) then turn the console off. Then keep repeating process for
about 15-20 minutes and eventually the game disc will show up. ( I have
to do this every time)

B) Make sure that this is covered by
Microsof't's RROD warranty. Then some how get teh red rings on this
console and send it to Microsoft. (Note: I am not held responsible for
your actions.)

C) This is a lens problem. So go out to a store
and buy a DVD lens cleanser. It's a disc that cleans the lenses of the
DVD or the XBOX.

D) Open it up and replace the lens (like the above guy said) (much harder and more costly).

I have had this happen about 3 times. The first time was when i figured out how to fix it. The 2nd and 3rd were temporary.(Just needed to be turned off for a moment) You need to shut the console off for atleast 15 minutes 10 at the lowest with everthing unplugged. I mean the hard drive, memory unit, and all cables, and adapters. Then after 10-15 minutes plug everything in and DON'T PRESS the BUTTONS ON THE XBOX OR THE CONTROLLERS. Press the button to open the tray and take out the game or dvd and put in a different one. If this doesn't work do it all over again and then put in a different game or dvd not the previous ones and turn on the console the same but then a soon as you get the disc in and closed in shut it off then open the tray and wait till you are at the main menu go into any program so you can't see it is reading and close the tray. If that doesn't work contact the xbox support line. Really hope this works for you.
